Cafeína Poem by G J Salgado

Caffeine in my body
Tangles in my hair
Red roses on the table
Smells just like spring
Wrinkles in my skin imprinted from your sheets the night before
My perfect dirty black summer
On a clean cold winter's wing
Magic hanging on the breeze of the wind
Our autumn dream came true
I felt the bass of your body on mine
I was born by the sound of rock n roll
We were everything that silenced all the rest
Our demons were quiet through the first night
The next day we were something new
Not recognized by anything not even ourselves
Shattering the ones sheltered by the storm
We drowned in the bed we made
The rain broke our fall upon the way
But it cursed us within the thunder
We were reborn from the iridescent lightning
Repeated through time when we faded
Hell between the storms were our only shadows
We were lost but we've never been so free
Our ghosts in the sand buried among the woods
Planted and rooted in the coffee beans
Waiting to drink the poison we made
Dripping and flowing down into the never
Into the night of the morning stars where we used to hide
